It is not uncommon when introducing new trains that rigorous test programmes raise issues that must be resolved before passenger service begins. The rail industry’s utmost priorities are the safe introduction of services and to ensure passengers on the East Coast route receive the planned benefits of the new Intercity Express Programme.
The Department is working closely with the Office for Rail and Road (ORR), Hitachi Rail Europe (HRE), London North Eastern Railway (LNER) and Network Rail (NR) to address the concerns raised by the ORR and bring the fleet into passenger service as soon as possible.
The full benefits of the Government-led Intercity Express Programme, including increased capacity, improved reliability and more frequent services for passengers on the East Coast route, will be delivered once the full fleet is in service in 2020. But in the meantime each and every train that is introduced will itself improve journeys for LNER customers.

Rail services are a vital part of the economy and the Intercity Express Programme is part of the national programme of modernisation works taking place on our railways that will improve the experience of rail users and stimulate economic growth across the UK.
The Intercity Express Programme has led to Hitachi investing in a state of the art facility at Newton Aycliffe which has created over a 1000 new jobs in the North East and supported thousands more in the UK supply chain. We expect the programme’s benefits to be realised once all the Intercity Express trains are in service on the Great Western and East Coast mainlines in 2020.
